1) The cloud seems to disappear
2) The element the two things were combined with seemed to have disappeared and then the cloud around one Mg transferred to the other and then that element was lost and the Zn atom combined with the Mg. Zinc is being reduced.
3) The other element disappeared again and then the Mg tried to combine with the Zn but the Zn resisted and the Mg bounced off of the Zn
4)No reaction between Mg2 and Cu
5) No reaction between Zn ands Cu
6) The reaction between Cu2 and Mg was that the Cu2 took the place and cloud of the Mg and the two atoms of Mg were lost from the mixture.
7) The reaction between Zn and Cu2 was the same reaction that Mg had with Cu2. The Cu2 combined with the Zn and took the place of two atoms and their cloud and the two atoms of Zn floated off and was no longer a part of the compound.
8 )This means that there will not be a reaction between Zn and Ag because if Zn is more reactive the Cu and didn’t have a reaction then it wont react with Ag

ANSWER : gold and silver are low in reactivity but they're also the most expensive. b. QUESTION : If not, what other factor(s) might influence the market value of a material? b. ANSWER : amount of metal being mined and the distance to the market.
Oxidation/reduction part 2 Oxidation is defined as the interaction between oxygen molecules and all the different substances they may contact, from metal to living tissue. Technically, however, with the discovery of electrons, oxidation came to be more precisely defined as the loss of at least one electron when two or more substances interact. Reduction is when an atom gains 2 electrons. www.wisegeek.com Reduction is when an atom gains 2 electrons. An oxidising agent is substance which oxidises something else. In the above example, the iron(III) oxide is the oxidising agent. A reducing agent reduces something else. In the equation, the carbon monoxide is the reducing agent. *Oxidising agents give oxygen to another substance. *Reducing agents remove oxygen from another substance. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/inorganic/redox/definitions.html

QUESTION: Describe the main differences between renewable and nonrenewable resources and provide an example of each.
ANSWER: renewable resources can eventually be replenished by natural process. nonrenewable resources cannot be rapidly replenished
2) QUESTION: a) If atoms are always conserved why do some people say that a resource may be “running out”?
ANSWER: people say this because the atoms are conserved chemically and because the atoms may be a metal which is nonrenewable.
b) Can a resource actually “run out”?
ANSWER: no because a resource particularly metals can be depleted in other ways.
3) QUESTION: What are the requirements for minimum profitability levels for a metal in an ore?
ANSWER: depends on the metal and its ore.
4) QUESTION: Identify and explain the two strategies for avoiding the depletion of metal ores.
ANSWER:
5) QUESTION : Can recycling also create environmental problems? If so, explain how this can happen. ANSWER: someone burning certain products can cause carbon dioxide which pollutes the air.

Calculate the difference between the waste produced from your answer to question 11 and the amount of waste produced after recycling. Remember these values are in millions of tons, so make sure that you calculate correctly and label with the correct units of measure. (1 ton = 2000 lbs)
If we compare the Total Generation of Waste (before recycling) to the Total Discards of Waste (after recycling), what percentage of waste is actually thrown away? What percentage of the Total Generation of Waste is actually recycled? Show your calculations below using the correct units of measure and labels.

1. What feature of diamond’s structure may account for its property as a hard, rigid substance, one that can scratch most other materials?
ANSWER: the diamond internal structure is a pyramidal shape which
causes it the have a very tough property and can make it scratch things
very easily.
2. How might the structure of diamond help explain why it is sometimes found in the form of large, single crystals?
ANSWER: repeating pattern cause them to have strong structure.
3. What feature of graphite’s structure might account for its usefulness as a lubricant? ANSWER: stacks and layers cause it to rub off
4. Why are fullerenes “powdery” as solids rather than composed of large-scale “chunks”?
ANSWER: Fullerenes have 60 carbon hollow spheres which resembles a soccer
ball. they are not all connected and the property is linked to how the atoms of the
element are linked and organized.
5. A molecule of buckminsterfullerene (C60) can be regarded as a hollow sphere. Chemists have demonstrated that it is possible to place an atom of another element inside the sphere. Can you think of any practical application for “carrying” atoms of another element inside fullerene molecules? ANSWER: antibiotics can be put into these structures.

ANSWER: Fe2+ + CuCu2+ + 2e- 5. QUESTION: Does it matter what metal is used for the anode? Explain. ANSWER: yes because you are coating the nail with that. If you run out of copper in the solution then the copper itself will be used. 6. QUESTION: Does it matter what metal is used for the cathode? Explain. ANSWER: yes because that is the thing that’s giving off the electrons to the copper making it neutral. 7. QUESTION: Do you think this method would be useful for large-scale copper plating? Why or why not? ANSWER: I do think that it would be useful because you can make the iron ions neutral and it plated the iron with copper.
